Summary

An empathetic and highly skilled registered nurse with seven years of experience in a clinical neurology/epilepsy unit and various emergency departments. With triage experience and travel nursing assignments in both Canada and the USA, I possess proficiency and adaptability in performing patient assessments, coordinating care, and enacting patient-centered treatment plans. Currently enrolled in the RN Prescriber course, I am actively building the foundational competencies required for advanced practice. I am seeking admission to the Nurse Practitioner program to further develop autonomous clinical decision-making, assume greater responsibility in patient management, and contribute to improved access, quality, and continuity of care.
